This reports our observation on Traffic and Road conditions from July 18 to August 5.<br><br>Traffic volume was much lower than in past years. There is now a new section of the link 1 that runs past Divi AND now connects onto Cole Bay Hill. This gives a second way to get out of P-Burg. Union Road still has a by-pass for construction. That makes it possible to get though the intersection of the Cole Bay Hill Road and Welfare road (bottom of Cole Bay Hill) more rapidly than normal.<br><br>The number of motorcycles and suicyclists in particular were much, much lower. Whether there has been a crackdown or whether they have been killed off, we do not know, but we are happy to not have to deal with them as much.<br><br>There were as always many spectacular wrecks. It is amazing how fast people can get their cars going on those roads. In one case, a VW Beetle slammed into a wall so hard that the engine was ejected and landed three hundred or so feet away. Fortunately the driver survived.<br><br>Many of the roads have been repaved since last year. However the road to the Butterfly Farm continues to degrade. It is hard to call it a paved road. The road to Club O is still gravel with speed bumps. There appears to have been no grading since the bumps were installed last year. Actually I suspect the bumps are culverts to allow water to flow and drain between the salt ponds.<br>
